Asian Plateau Blend: The Deep, Earthy Cup from the Roof of the World
High above sea level, across the vast plateaus and mountain ranges of Asia, some of the world's most distinctive coffee is grown. These are coffees from places where the altitude is extreme, the climate is unforgiving, and the resulting beans carry a character that's unlike anything from Latin America or Africa — deep, earthy, full-bodied, and complex in a way that takes you somewhere entirely different.
Our Asian Plateau Blend is a tribute to these remarkable origins.
Coffee from the Highlands of Asia
Asia's coffee-growing regions span an enormous range — from the highlands of India and the volcanic islands of Indonesia to the emerging coffee cultures of Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar. What unites them is a flavor profile that's distinctly their own: lower acidity, heavier body, and an earthy, herbal complexity that reflects the unique terroir of high-altitude Asian growing regions.
Indian coffees, particularly from the Bababudangiri hills and the Nilgiris, are known for their spicy, wine-like character — a result of the traditional monsooning process that exposes beans to seasonal winds and transforms their flavor. Indonesian coffees from Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Java bring the famous "earthy" character that coffee lovers either seek out specifically or discover and never go back from. These are coffees with personality — bold, distinctive, and unmistakably themselves.
Our Asian Plateau Blend
Our Asian Plateau Blend brings together the best of Asia's high-altitude coffee regions into a single, unified cup. We've selected origins that complement each other — the spice and depth of Indian highlands, the earthy complexity of Indonesian islands — and blended them to create something that's greater than any single origin could achieve alone.
It's a medium-dark roast that honors the natural character of these origins: bold and full-bodied, with the kind of depth that reveals itself slowly as the cup cools.
What It Tastes Like
- Dark chocolate and cedar — rich, woody, and deeply complex
- Earthy, herbal notes — the signature character of Asian highland coffee
- Spice and tobacco — subtle warmth in the background
- Full, heavy body — substantial and coating, with real presence
- Low, smooth acidity — easy and approachable, never sharp
It's exceptional as a French press — the full-immersion method that lets the body and earthy complexity fully express themselves. It also makes a remarkable cold brew, where the low acidity and heavy body create a concentrate that's smooth, rich, and intensely satisfying. For espresso drinkers, it pulls a shot with real depth and a thick, persistent crema.
For the Coffee Drinker Who Wants Something Different
The Asian Plateau Blend is for the coffee drinker who's explored Latin American and African coffees and is ready for something that takes them somewhere new. It's for the person who loves Sumatran coffee and wants to experience what happens when you blend it with the best of what the rest of Asia has to offer.
It's also a perfect introduction to Asian coffee for anyone who's curious but hasn't known where to start. The blend format makes these bold, distinctive origins approachable without losing any of their character.
From the Roof of the World to Your Cup.
The Asian Plateau Blend is a journey to some of the most remote and remarkable coffee-growing regions on earth — in a cup you can brew at home every morning.
